context_page_description: The American Institute of Architecture Students is an independent, nonprofit, student-run organization providing programs, information, and resources on issues critical to architecture and the experience of education. The core focus of AIAS membership supports architecture students in collegiate schools across the United States, a population of approximately 25,000 students annually enrolled in accredited degree programs. In recent years, the AIAS has also expanded into international academic programs.
  The organization represents one of five collateral organizations that govern the discipline of architecture in the United States, including allied organizations: the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, the National Architectural Accrediting Board, National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, and the American Institute of Architects. These governing bodies reflect the trajectory an architect will take during their career, from initial education, through licensure, and into practice.
